Alicia Silverstone has opened up about her son, Bear Blu, and his vegan lifestyle.
The 42-year-old has revealed that he has actually avoided getting sick because of his plant-based diet.
She said, ''he's never had to take medicine in his life.''
She continued, ''he can get sniffles and a runny nose but he’s not down, he still goes to school. Two times in his life has he been like, ‘Mommy I don’t feel good,’ and it was only for a few hours and he was back running around.”
Alicia has been a vegan herself for more than two decades after she stopped eating meat when she was 21.
While she has embraced veganism, it seems so has her child as he explained in a video for the nonprofit Farm Sanctuary’s Compassionate Meals program that his favourite thing about being a vegan is “that you don’t have to eat yucky meat.”
Lucky for him, as his mum can make things that he likes ''based on what’s in the fridge. You always have a bean, you always have a whole grain” Alicia said.
She continued, ''the amazing thing about it is that it’s turned me into a health nut, because you feel so good, you feel so different.''
“So being able to do something that is good for the Earth, good for the animals and good for you all at the same time seems like such a no-brainer. It’s like the biggest ‘Duh!’”
Well, it seems to be working for them so each to their own.
